I’m working on a history writing question and need a reference to help me study.
In this assignment, you will you will consider three primary sources that reflect political culture of the United States during the late 1780s and into the first few years of the 1800s. You will also write a short essay in which you discuss what these primary sources reveal about citizenship, political rights, partisanship, and competing visions of the new United States.
The three sources included in this activity are all indicative in some way of the political culture of the United States during the late 1780s and into the first few years of the 1800s—a culture which became increasingly participatory as voting restrictions lessened and citizenship requirements shifted. Taken together, what do these documents reveal about citizenship, political rights, partisanship, and competing Federalist and Democratic-Republican visions of the new United States? How did race and gender constrain inclusion in participatory politics?
